The present invention relates to a jar holder and has for itsprimejobject to provide a holder which insures safety in the opening andclosing of jars.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a holder whichV is adjustable to t different sized jars. Y

A still further important object of the invention resides in theprovision of a holder of this nature which is simple in construction,comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, handy, very efficient andreliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which itis designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willhereinafter be more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: l

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a holder embodying the features of ourinvention.

Figure 2 is a front elevation thereof. i

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section therethrough takensubstantially on theline 3-3 of Figure 1. l Y

Figure 4 is a vertical transverse section taken substantially on theline 4 4 of Figure l.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a pin.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of one of the angular locking plates.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of the wedge plate showing a portion ofthe arm protruding therefrom.

Figure 8 is a perspective view of thesupporting plate, and

Figure 9 is a perspective view of oney of the bolts. 1

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that a supportingplate 5 is secured to the wall or any other suitable support by means ofsuitable fastening elements such as screws or nails. On this plate ismounteda wedge shaped socket formed by means of a pair of flanges 6which are secured to the front face of the plate and converge downwardlytoward each other, these flanges being of a substantially Z-formation incross section. Y

Numeral '7 denotes anY arm plate on one end of which is formedintegrally a wedge plate 8 to be received in the socket on the plate 5.On the other end of the arm plate '7 is a platform 9 and from the innerend of the platform rises an arcuateplate 10. The Vplates 9 and 10 areformed integrally with the arm 7. Integral webs or Y practice it attainsthe features of advantage enu- *means for connecting the pair of arcuateplates braces glluare provided one on each side of the plate.` '7.`Ylkpairgof` 4T-shaped bolts 12 have their heads rockable in hinge leafmembers 14 fixed on the back of the plate `10 adjacent the side edgesthereof. A pair of plates 15;and 16 Vare' 5 shaped similarly to plates10. An angular plate 17 has one portion curved and fixed to the back ofthe plates 15 adjacent one side edge soV that the other portion thereofwhich is slotted as at 18 may receive the adjacent bolt 12 and a nut 1910 may be engaged thereon. A similar plate 17' is on the plate 16. AAhinge leaf member 14` is also mounted on the back of thearcuate plate16 adjacent the other side edge thereof and has the head of a Tbolt 12'mounted therein. An angular plate 20 is mounted on the back of the plate15 adjacent its other side edge and has a slotted portion 21 the ends ofwhich are bent back over upon itself as at 22 to provide shoulders. Apin 23 having a central opening 24 for receiving the bolt 12' is held inabutment with the portion 21 by means of a nut 25. Y On the inside ofthe plates 10, 15 and 16 are corrugated A rubber pads 27. A pad 28 maybe provided on the platform 9. By unloosening the nut 25, the pin 23 maybe slid toward the nut as it is loosened and then may clear theshoulders 22. A jar A may be put in place or removed this Way if Vsodesired. Obviously by screwing upon the nuts 19, 19 and 25 the threeplates 10, 15 and 16 may be tightened about a jar and the device willac- Y commodate jars of different size.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this artwithout a `more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been described inconsiderable detail merely for the purposes of exemplication since inactual merated as desirable in the statement of the invention and theabove description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and inthe combination andarrangement of parts may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit or scope `of the invention as hereinafterclaimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described claim as new is:

1. fA jar holder of the class described including a supportingstructure,v a xedarcuate plate on the supporting structure, a platformon the supporting structure, a pair of arcuate plates, and

our invention, what we Vwith each other and with the rst mentioned plateso that said pair of plates may be adjusted toward'and away from oneanother, said means comprising a pair of bolts swingably mounted on theirst mentioned plate and having a detach-V able connection with theadjacent side portions of porting structure, a pair of arcuate plates,and Iv means for connecting the pair of arcuate plates with each otherand with the iirst mentioned plate so that said pair of plates may beadjusted toward and away from one another, said means comprising a pairof bolts swingably mounted on -the rst mentioned plate and having adetachable connection with the .adjacent side portions of said pair ofplates, and a bolt swingablyvmounted on one of said pair of plates andhaving' a detachable connection with the other, said last mentioneddetachable connection being in the form of a slotted plate having endportions bentover upon itself to provide shoulders, a pin having anopening through which the last mentioned bolt extends, and a nut on thebolt for holding the pin in abutment with the protruding plate.

3v. A jar holder of the class described including an arcuate plate,means for mounting said arcuate plate, a pair of arcuate plates, andmeans for connecting the pair of arcuatey plates with each other andwith the first mentioned plate -so that said pair of plates may beadjusted toward and away from one another, said means comprising a pairof bolts swingabljT mounted on the iirst mentioned plate and havingadetachable connection with the adjacent side portions of said pair ofplates, and a bolt swingably mounted on one ofV said pair of plates andhaving a detachable connection with the other.
